Duke Snider didn't do a thing
at the plate today for a change
but hardly anyone noticed be'
cause Roy Campanella, Frank
Kellert and Gil Hodges took up
the slack with one home run
apiece to help the Dodgers cuff
the Cardinals, 6-1, at Ebbets
Field.'
Big Don Newcombe wasn't ex
actly sitting on his hands eith
er. He allowed only six hits and
posted his ninth straight victory
to equal his entire 1954 total.
The huge Dodger right-hander
, had the Cards shut out until Rip
Repulski homered in the ninth.
The lone consolation for the
Cardinals was in stopping the
red-hot Snider, who went hit-
less in four trips after having
been on a 13-hit tear in Brook
lyn's last four games.
Cubs Win In 12th
Stan Hack's second-place
Cubs battled back from a five
run deficit to defeat the Giants,
9-8, on Ernie Banks' 12th inning
single with the bases full. The
Giants scored one run in the bot
tom of the 12th on Willie Mays'
second homer of the game. Dav
ey Williams hit a grand-slam
homer in the sixth to give New
York 7-2 lead but subsequent
homers by Rookie Jim King and
Eddie Miksis tied the score at
7-all.
Rookie Rudy Minarcin of Cin
cinnati turned in the best pitch
ed game of the day, holding
Pittsburgh to one hit a sec
ond inning single by Dale Long
for a 6-6 decision. Minarcin
drove in two of the Redlegs'
runs.
Johnny Logan and Eddie Mat
hews each hit homers off Bob
Kuzava and Joe Adcock and
Danny O'Connell did likewise
against reliever Bob Miller in
Milwaukee's 11-3 victory over
Philadelphia. Backed by a 12
hit attack, left-hander Warren
Spahn survived a three-run up
rising in the first inning to reg
ister his fourth victory.
Yankees Lead By 4 Garnet
Scoring their 20th triumph in
the last 24 games, the Yankees
stretched their American league
lead to four games by nipping
the White Sox, 4-3, while the
Senators were crushing the In
dians, 14-5, in Cleveland.
Eddie Lopat was the winning
pitcher in the Yankee-White Sox
contest but he needed help from
Tom Morgan in the ninth.
The Senators had a field day
at the expense of Mike Garcia,
Art Houtteman, Bill Wight and
Ray Narleski, smashing out 18
: hits. Ernie Oravetz, Jim Busby
and Roy Rievers each collected
three hits as every player in
Washington's lineup hit safely
to offset homers by Al Smith,
Ralph Kiner and Bob Avila off
winner Bob Porterfield.
Rookie Frank Lary of Detroit
pitched a four-hitter to beat
Baltimore 5-2. Red Wilson's two
run homer off Harry Byrd high
lighted a four-run Tiger rally
in the sixth.
Sixth inning homers by Ted
Williams and Norm Zauchin
broke up a scoreless pitching
duel and started the Red Sox
on their way to a 5-1 triumph
over the Athletics. Jim Piersall
of Boston homered off relief
pitcher Johnny Sain in the ninth.

Gabrielson, president of the
